That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 696

The old Confucian scholar with the bookcase on his back chewed on the name for a while, and found it familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it before, so he could only say a "good name" dryly.

The young man said: "I heard that Zheng Kuiqi is only in his thirties now. A person from a poor background starts from scratch. No matter who he climbs, it is not easy to get to where he is today."

The old man frowned, and said in a slightly pedantic manner: "Although it is said that once the general is successful, no matter whether it is a hero or a tyrant, as long as you have the world in mind, there is absolutely no reason to blindly oppress the good. This King Zheng is bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, I'm afraid It’s not really a hero, at most it’s just a timeless hero who made Zhuzi famous.”

The young man laughed it off.

At this time, the passengers on the ship had also discovered the uninvited guest with the "Zheng" flag, and there was a chaos on the ship.

The leader of a sea guest's face changed drastically, and he shouted loudly: "Quick! Speed ​​up!"

Many boatmen filled the sails, but this Fuchuan, which is half passenger ship and half cargo ship, has too deep a draft, no matter how fast it can accelerate, it is quite limited. On the other hand, the fast ship is light and fast, and it is less than three miles away from the Fuchuan in a short time. Baizhang, you can vaguely see that there are many people with knives standing on the bow of the ship, all of them are covered with red scarves, and the ship is equipped with iron cannons and wooden cannons, and there are already pirates holding torches standing by.

The next moment, several cannons roared, the sound was not small, but the aim was almost missed, most of them fell on the surrounding sea surface, splashing water columns, only one cannon landed on the deck, it was still a solid bullet, just on the wooden A big hole was smashed on the deck of the ship, and a hapless ghost was stabbed in the cheek by scattered wood debris. Compared with the power of Ming Chen's bombardment of the Circular Mound Altar, it is a world of difference, but it is this power that has already made the ship The many sea travelers in the sea were completely panicked.

After another round of bombardment, the fast boat flying the Zheng character flag had already approached, and there were probably nearly a hundred men and horses on it, all of them armed with knives. Fight.

The old scholar sighed softly: "Look at this posture, there will be many wronged souls added to the sea, since my little friend has a sword, why don't you make a move?"

The white-headed young man was still not in a hurry to make a move, he pressed his palm on Qingfeng's sword at his waist, and looked at the pirate's speedboat.

Just as the two of them were talking, the two ships were completely close together, and the leader of the pirates laughed loudly and said, "Boys, kill me!"

Dozens of sword-wielding pirates swarmed up, there was no organized formation, far from a real army, but there was a brave and fierce spirit, which was more than enough to deal with these pirates.

The moment the two pirates raised their knives and rushed to the deck first, the two flew backwards without warning, as if hitting an invisible wall, their heads were bleeding, and they fell to the ground to die.

The pirate in the head had some vision and recognized that this move was a means of someone using the air machine to form a wall. He didn't dare to be careless in the slightest. He immediately signaled the pirates to stop, and then they clasped their fists together and said: "I don't know who the former is!" Being here by an expert? Ma Dong, under King Zheng Long’s command, is being polite. He goes out and eats and eats. I hope that senior will look at Zheng Long King’s face and hold his hands high. Don’t care about us poor people.”

The old scholar glanced at the long sword on the white-headed young man's waist intentionally or unintentionally, and realized that it was half unsheathed at some point, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "King Zheng Long, he is quite famous, and I don't know that His Royal Highness King Wei How do you feel about it?"

The white-headed young man said indifferently: "With King Wei's mind, I don't think he would care about these trivial matters."

The old Confucian scholar said with a smile: "If this old man arrives safely in Wei State this time, I would like to meet His Royal Highness the King of Wei and talk to him about the principles of old man."

It has to be said that the tone of this old Confucian scholar is really too big to be louder. He is reasonable with King Wei who sits on the land of Wei State and looks down on the Central Plains?I am afraid that only the top ten people in the Tianji Ranking have this ability and confidence.

The young man was Xu Beiyou who said goodbye to Xiao Zhinan and went to Wei country alone. He went to Wei country first this trip, and first met some people secretly. On the surface, he surrendered to Wei Wang Xiaojin, but in fact he has a lot to do. Next, he will transfer from Wei State to Biyou Island. How to get back the things that belonged to Jianzong from Biyou Island is also regarded as Gongsun Zhong. In the end, the plan was left to Xu Beiyou to solve the problem. If Xu Beiyou could solve this problem, it would really open up a new situation for Jianzong.

The reason why Xu Beiyou is alone and takes no one with him is not because he is afraid of being burdensome, but because the situation in Jiangdu is not optimistic. It is already a certainty that the Daoist sect will take action. Xiao Zhinan will stay in Jiangdu and have her princess status. Kuang must not have dared to stand idly by. With the Jiangnan rear army, Xu Beiyou dared not rest assured to go to Biyou Island.

As for the old scholar in front of him, Xu Beiyou had a feeling that he couldn't see through the depths, so he didn't dare to make a judgment.

At this time, the face of the pirate leader who shouted gradually darkened, and subconsciously clenched the handle of the knife in his hand, feeling a little bit retreating.

He is regarded as the confidant of the "Dragon Lord" Zheng Kuiqi. He has followed Zheng Kuiqi for a long time, and he has come to fight again and again. Now he is considered to have a small status. It is precisely because of this that he is entitled to come into contact with some inside information that others do not know. Now the relationship between His Royal Highness King Wei and the imperial court is rapidly deteriorating. One day, the imperial court will come to clean up the sea again. Although the current Jiangdu navy is almost dead in name only. , but as long as the court is determined, a new Jiangdu navy can be re-formed within a year and a half. This navy may not be the opponent of the elite navy under the command of King Wei, but it can deal with them. Thieves are already more than enough.

Could it be that there are people from the imperial court on this boat?

The pirate leader was taken aback by his own thought, and his face became gloomy again. He didn't dare to push it any further, and slowly squeezed one out from between his teeth, "Let's go!"

Many of his subordinates were a little dazed, and someone said a little unwillingly: "Boss, let's just leave like this? This is a big fish!"

The pirate leader gritted his teeth and said, "No matter how big the fish is, it has to be eaten alive. Let's go!"

But just when the gang of pirates wanted to retreat, a white-haired young man blocked them, or one person and one sword blocked their way.

The young man said flatly: "Wait a minute, everyone, I have something to say."

These pirates are used to the life of licking blood with knife edge, they don't take other people's life seriously, but at the same time they don't take their own life seriously. The knife rushed towards the young man blocking the way.

Then there was a bang, and the four of them exploded together with their knives, as if ordinary flesh and blood collided head-on with the arrows fired from the Thunder Ballista, and turned into a cloud of blood mist, leaving no bones left .

Xu Beiyou smiled and said, "I don't want to eat the toast, but I have to eat the fine wine."

After seeing this scene, the pirate leader tried his best to calm down and said, "Senior made the move just now? Senior really want Zheng Longwang as an enemy?"

Xu Beiyou snorted, "Lord Dragon, what a great name."
